                 The wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead

Once an accused of a murder was produced before the court ,

He was asked to take an oath

“Gita paar hath rak kar kaho

 Jo bhi kahoge sach kahoge
sach ke siva kuch nahi kahoge”

The accused did as told and said “jo bhi kahuanga bhagwat gita ko hi kahunga , aur kuch nahi kahunga”

The court proceeding began and the judge asked the accused if he had something to say,

The accused did speak up and said ,Sir

“vedavinasinam nityam ya enam ajam avyayam
katham sa purusah partha kam ghatayati hanta kam”

“vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya

 navani grhnati naro parani
tatha sarirani vihaya jirnany
anyani samyati navani dehi”

--Meaning how can a person who knows that the soul is indestructible ,eternal,unborn  and immutable kill anyone or cause anyone to kill?
As a person puts on new garments ,giving up old ones ,the soul similarly accepts new material bodies,giving up the old and unused ones.

“Atha cet tvam imam dharmyam sangramam na karisyasi
tatah sva-dharmam kirtam ca hitva papam avapsyasi”

“sukha-dukha same krtva labhalabhau jayajayau
tato yuuddhaya yujyasva naivam papam avapsyasi”

--Meaning if you do not perform your duty to fight ,then you will certainly incur sins for neglecting you duty.

But thou if you fight for the sake of fighting ,without considering happiness or distress ,you shall never incur sin.

The judge seemed least amused and directed the people to take his oath by the bible. The judge pronounced him guilty of killing and sentenced him to life imprisonment .And thus  he was crucified.

We all have our recreational activities ,some people love to dance maybe there are various forms like the Bharatnatiyam ,kathakali and  western forms like Salsa and ballroom dancing.drama,movies ,cricket etc.

I also am pretty found of salsa though  usually restrict myself to my home reading.writing and listening.

I am sure between all our recreational activities we can find sometime to inculcate a serving  attitude among ourselves.

So children lets tell our parents to inculcate a serving attitude in our grandparents, till then we can sit in our A/C rooms and play playstation 2 and counter strike.
